Use forecasting to assist in the production planning process by creating anticipated demand for manufactured items. The production planner can compare the anticipated demand for items to the expected availability, then use this information to determine whether additional production orders need to be scheduled.
Note
If your D365 BC licence includes permissions for the standard D365 BC production forecasting features, use this standard functionality. Data entered in Food Manufacturing & Distribution's Production Forecast page is ignored by other production planning tools if the standard D365 BC forecasting features are available to the user.
